Lovely house. Missing some bits and pieces. Very little tourist information
Amazing holiday property - beautiful, spacious and clean. We went as a group of 8 adult, a toddler and a dog and had more than enough room for all of us. We really enjoyed the welcome hamper, firewood, toiletries and other thoughtful touches when we got there. Located a short drive to lots of lovely places to walk, we all wish that we had stayed longer and are hoping to be able to book again soon
The cottage was lovely clean and exactly like the pictures. Ben the property manager was so helpful, it was a surprise birthday and he arranged balloons for when we arrived. Also the travel cot was missing and he came straight round and sorted it!
The property was absolutely beautiful! Large, comfortable, well-appointed, it was the perfect getaway for 2 families to spend some quality time together just before Christmas. The trees and decorations were a wonderful touch and the hamper and goods provided some of the best I’ve seen. We will 100% be returning, just need to figure out when
Absolutely beautiful property very remote location but perfect for an anniversary celebration weekend. Welcome pack was amazing
Very spacious accommodation situated on one level. Comfortable throughout. One bedroom had no wardrobe so difficult for unpacking! Two beds slightly small - really okay for one person but a bit tight for 2. Otherwise, good bathrooms which were all ensuite which was a bonus. Nice outside garden area surrounding the property. Excellent welcome pack which was very generous. We all enjoyed our stay (7 of us in total) and one small dog!
High spec accommodation, well laid out within a lovely garden. Kitchen was well equipped, but could do with providing some pint glasses. Ben was on hand to top up the dishwasher with salt and rinse aid. A great place to stay with friends as all bedrooms have en-suites.
The welcome hamper was much appreciated. Very comfortable and mostly well appointed house with pretty garden. It was a pity that there was no wardrobe in bedroom 4. Kitchen was well equipped but no kitchen scissors or oven gloves. A few more tea towels would have been helpful. An ideal property to share with friends for a week.
Beautiful house in lovely location with very comfortable rooms and superb beds! Thanks!
A very spacious and well appointed holiday retreat but would benefit from some TLC. The grounds need some work and there are bits and pieces of internal maintenance needed (door locks sticking, loose cleats for blinds cords, outside door handles loose, flaking varnish / paint on outside window frames). Also, the welcome basket was missing many items - no butter, eggs, cereal, cheese, wine, fruit. It suited our purposes well but needs more attention to detail. We have stayed at a lot of Rural Retreat properties over many years as we felt they had a truly premium feel that was very consistent - I now feel that this 'gold' standard has slipped. The old Foundry was an improvement on our last Rural Retreat stay (which was the worst ever) but still not quite up to the standard we have come to expect. I'm not sure if the quality control is as rigorous as it needs to be.
Amazing hamper, fantastic location, property exactly as described, which was fantastic!
Absolutely fantastic place !! lots of room for 8 people and 2 dogs!! Big enclosed front and back gardens to enjoy. Spacious rooms throughout and the welcome hamper is a lovely touch. Plenty of places to visit nearby. Would most definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful Christmas stay with family. The Old Foundry is extremely spacious, but very cosy. It felt so welcoming when we arrived, lit with several Christmas trees and festive garlands. The hamper was the best we've ever received from Rural Retreats. The grand piano in the sitting room made the whole experience even more special, especially having a professional pianist with us. A most memorable Christmas.
Beautiful property, perfect for a group holiday with 8 adults. Plenty of space and thoughtfully laid out. A few more wine glasses (only 7 in a property of 8) would be useful. Wonderful secure garden safe for our dog to run around.
Lovely property, clean & well appointed. Welcome hamper was very generous. Garden was beautiful.
Had a weeks stay here with family. It is a lovely house which is comfortable and mostly well equipped. I appreciate that because of covid there has to be a few changes to what supplies may be in a property but no salt, pepper, oil, clingfilm or foil was a bit disappointing. The website claims 2 pubs in the area, one of which is closed and the other is 1.8 miles from the house not 1 mile as stated. If you are looking for a spacious property off the beaten track then this is for you!
Excellent, comfortable accommodation
Place is bigger than it looks in photos, absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend this property to all my friends and family!
Comfortable house with all your needs supplied . We felt very relaxed there.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
